  A great toy and dependable car! - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By 2005 Mazda MX5 Miata - December 25 - 8:46 pm

  Im 70 years old and have owned Jaguars, X19s and many small convertibles. I LOVE MY MIATA MX5! It hates snow and so do I, so it remains in its heated garage all winter but when its ready to go so am I. I feel safe and comfortable in it. I wish I were younger, Id be in the new 2008 with the upgrade! I take it to the mountains a lot and appreciate the way it handles and takes the upgrades with power to spare! As far as looks go? How can you beat it? Thanks Mazda.

  Fun, Freakin Awesome Sports Car! - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By 3rd Wright Brother - June 19 - 11:53 am

  When I searched for a new car I wanted a convertible. I researched all the different models and within a week I ordered a Mazda Miata. It was the best convertible available and exactly what I was looking for. It had power, great handling, style, and I loved how easy it was to put the top down. It takes me less than three seconds to put the top down or put it back up. A lot of other convertibles on the market required two people to lower or raise the top. I have driven my Miata to so many places, but driving through the Rockies was my favorite. The small back road to Aspen was the most breathtaking journey ever and the Miata was a joy to drive.

  MX5 - theres no substitute - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By dklein - August 26 - 7:53 pm

  For the money this sports car is a 10. But if you want the top of the line best it cost over 50k easily. It is so fun to drive you look forward to doing it. When I bought it I was not fully aware of its past but I am happy I am in its present and future. It is a sports car so it is not the most comfortable ride but again complete fun. With the top down "forget about it"

  Buy a Miata - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Burt Lauderbaugh - June 16 - 6:56 pm

  Great car. Had an MGB in the 60s and this is more fun, much peppier, and ,definitely more reliable. Like the style on the 2005 better than older models and better than the new one being previewed in the press now. It will definitely be a long term love affair.

  This is the most fun and reliable car Ive ever had! It handles so well. Its great on gas. Let me tell you, the trunk is plenty big enough. When I go grocery shopping, I can pack two weeks of groceries in there! For the cost compared to other convertibles, this is a great little car. Im spoiled, Ill always have to have a Miata for the rest of my life!! Zoom Zoom!!!

  I Love My Miata - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Tony - March 13 - 2:23 am

  Ever since the Miata first came out, I was in love with it! Now, after 10 years I finally got one and the thing most people would be surprised at is that I got rid of a 2001 Audi A6 2.7T Quattro Sport and the Miata is what I replaced it with! I have never had a car that is so much fun to drive! There are many cars that I considered to purchase; the Boxster, BMW Z4, and other more expensive cars, but when it came down to fun for the money and most importantly, reliability and not having to go to the dealer just to change a lightbulb, the Miata won the contest and I have never been happier with a car in my life! If youre thinking of buying one... do it. You wont regret it.

  Mazda Miata - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By CRBACSW - January 3 - 6:53 pm

  This car is stylish and a lot of fun to drive. Handles corners well. Turns a lot of heads and receives a lot of thumbs up from onlookers. It is not real good with bumps - but then again it is a small sports car!

  A truly fun vehicle to drive. Tight into the corners and curves, good power for the needs. Great feeling on the highway, with the top down, sun shinning. Zoom - Zoom!!
